Hi,
Is there a way to view files as UTF-8?
For example, a file containing "m├óine" ('m', 0xC3, 0xA2, "'ine") should display "mâine" ("tomorrow" in Romanian).
This would be an extremely handy addition for software localization engineers like me :-) And anyone dealing with files in non-English languages, I guess.
Thanks,
Dan
[closed] Viewing files as UTF-8?
Thanks for the tip, the Unicode version correctly displayed all UTF-8 characters I tested after I changed the font from Courier (which didn't support ş and ţ) to Courier New. BTW, you might want to set Courier New as the default fixed font.grigsoft wrote:In fact at least Unicode version should correctly identify and handle UTF8 files. Have you tried it?
How exactly does it identify UTF8 files without a BOM at the beginning? By scanning for bytes > 127 or generally for valid UTF8? The Unicode version did show the files as UTF8, but what if the user wants to view the raw bytes (no UTF8 interpretation, such as if they need a specific code page), is there an option for this in the Unicode version?grigsoft wrote:In fact at least Unicode version should correctly identify and handle UTF8 files.
